"Toot!" A huge horn sounded.

"Great Martial Arts!" Xue Rengui stood on the hillside, looking at the direction from which the horn sound came with envious eyes.

"Why, Captain Xue is also moved." Merton looked at Xue Rengui's eager expression and said.

Xue Rengui sighed: "To be able to be in the midst of all the armies, all eyes are on you, which soldier doesn't want to get such glory." ”

"Why should Captain Xue take pity on himself, with Captain Xue's hand, there will definitely be an opportunity to show his skills." In his previous life, Xue Rengui was still able to rise rapidly a few years later when he entered the military camp, and now Xue Rengui's starting point is much higher than in his previous life, so he can naturally ride the wind.

As the horn fell, a large number of soldiers of the right guard appeared in the sight of the two, and more than 10,000 soldiers formed a steel jungle under the command of the drums, like arms and fingers, either attacking or retreating.

"General Li really lives up to his name." On the hillside, Morton and Xue Rengui looked at Li Jing commanding the army and couldn't help but sigh. It was also the first time for the two to see such a large-scale military training, and it can be said that they were shocked. It can be said to be a rare opportunity, and I have memorized it in my heart, and it can be regarded as an upright stealing teacher!

"This is just the right guard, if the sixteen guards gather at the same time, how spectacular it will be!" Xue Rengui sighed.

Merton nodded in agreement, but it didn't make them wait long, and as the drums came, a large number of other guards gathered one after another.

Outside Li Jing's big tent of the Chinese army, more than 200,000 soldiers of the 16 guards gathered together, and in an instant, a calm atmosphere came to his face.

However, even 200,000 people can't hide the light of one person, that is, Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty on the school review platform.

The soldiers in the audience looked at Li Jing in front of them with fanatical eyes, that is, Li Jing in front of him led the sixteen guards four years ago, entered the prairie, captured Jieli Khan and returned, and now this general is going to go on the expedition again, how can he not let everyone look forward to it.

You must know that the most valuable thing in Datang is military merit, an ordinary soldier with military merit, can divide the land and be exempt from tax, and the family has no worries about food and clothing.

"If you can stand in the position of General Li in your life, you will die without regrets." Xue Rengui said secretly in his heart.

There are not a few soldiers who think like Xue Rengui, Li Jing's position is probably already the highest glory of a soldier, which soldier doesn't want to have this moment.

However, ordinary people only have envy in their eyes, but in the hearts of one person they are full of envy.

"This position should be mine."

At Li Jing's side, Hou Junji said indignantly in his heart, he was the secretary of the military department of the Tang Dynasty, and he should have presided over the Western Expedition, but under Li Jing's aura, he could only be subservient.

"General Qiyu! The Sixteen Guards have been assembled! "A herald came to report.

Li Jing nodded with satisfaction, the Sixteen Guards are the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and with this male soldier, he is even more confident in defeating Tuyuhun.

Li Jing stretched out his hand and waved, and the audience was silent for a moment.

"Only six guards were taken from the sixteen guards of the western expedition, except for the right guard as the general's middle army, and then five guards were drawn from the fifteen guards and set out for the western expedition." Li Jing said in a loud voice, and the heralds in the audience conveyed the orders to the soldiers one by one.

All the soldiers nodded silently, this news has already spread throughout the Sixteen Guards, and everyone has no opinion on the selection of the right guard first, after all, Li Jing, as the main general, is naturally impossible if he does not have his own soldiers.

"Who can be selected? In the army, the military is respected, and the winner is the first, and the top five in this big military exercise can be fully defended to the west. As soon as Li Jing's voice fell, the other fifteen guard generals glanced at each other, and their eyes were full of war.

In fact, it is not only ordinary soldiers who need military merits, but also military merits are the most important thing for a general.

After Li Jing's words spread throughout the Sixteen Guards, there was immediately a buzz in the army, and the other Sixteen Guards soldiers were a little more jealous.

"Next, the first item of the big military exercise, a rapid march!" Li Jing shouted.

On the battlefield, once there are fighters, it is common to march in a hurry, and it is the factor that can best reflect the strength of the army.

The rapid march was very miserable, and everyone tried their best to fight, but this was indeed the time when the overall quality was most experienced, and the gap was quickly widened.

"It's brutal. Today alone, the three guards have been eliminated. Xue Rengui came back from inquiring about the news and said with palpitations.

Merton also nodded silently, not only did these three guards miss the western expedition, I am afraid that even some of the guards who performed poorly and even the main generals would be reprimanded, after all, the sixteen guards are the elite of the Gongwei capital, if the combat effectiveness is too poor, then it is not to disregard the safety of Chang'an.

Merton nodded understandingly, the westward expedition to Tuguhun, a long journey of thousands of miles, the most test is endurance, and a rapid march is the top priority.

"Tomorrow is a military drill! It's going to be an eye-opener! Xue Rengui longed for him, he was a military fanatic, and he had this unusual enthusiasm for these means of unifying the army.

The next day, the remaining twelve guards practiced the military formation, and Morton and Xue Rengui stood on the hillside as usual to watch,

"Eliminated the four guards again!" Xue Rengui said excitedly, today's military formation drill benefited him a lot. And Li Jing's methods convinced him even more.

"There are still eight guards left!" Merton said solemnly.

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "The last game is a real battle, and there is still one day, and the last five guards have already competed." ”

Once the five guards compete out, it means that the army will be dispatched, and the western expedition will begin.

"Tomorrow, Your Majesty will come to the Sixteen Guards in person, and after the military exercise is over, my firearms supervisor will also give Your Majesty a martial arts exercise." Merton said solemnly.

Xue Rengui was shocked in his heart, and he couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty will come in person tomorrow, and you will also watch the firearms supervision exercise." ”

Merton nodded, looked at the long section of the wall, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, what do you think I went to great lengths to build this section of the wall?" ”

Xue Rengui suddenly realized the reason why Merton took so much pain.

"Everything is ready now, just waiting for the moment when my grandfather succeeds." Merton looked at the unkempt and unkempt ancestor on the side, he had continued to study ballistics without sleep and food, and had reached the point of madness, his eyes were bright and bright, and he was bowing his head to the desk, constantly calculating.

"Hahaha, the trajectory has finally been calculated." Suddenly, Zu Mingjun suddenly raised his head, grabbed the straw paper in his hand, and said excitedly.

"Congratulations to my grandfather, I have opened up a new arithmetic for my ancestral family." Merton said with joy in his heart.

"Rejoice, rejoice!" The ancestral name is Jundao.

His ancestors had learned a new science, and Merton had improved the accuracy of the return gun, and the two could be said to be a win-win situation.
